After Lucy's death, Dr. Seward, Van Helsing, and Arthur Holmwood accuses Dracula of the incident. Dr Seward, Van Helsing, and Arthur Holmwood is arguing that Dracula has somehow killed Lucy providing evidences. On the other hand, Dracula and Reinfield protests, saying that it was the lack of care (Mr. Stephens says - "I think this means that Dracula and Reinfield are arguing that they are not guilty.") that resulted Lucy's death.
Dr. Seward and I did our best to help Miss. Westenra recover her health, and we can evidently see that Dracula killed her.
1. Blood transfusion
- Even though it was weakening us, we carried out blood transfusions. Arthur Holmwood, Dr. Seward, Quincey Morris, and I all donated blood to Lucy
- To Arthur Holmwood "Young miss is bad, very bad. She want blood, and blood she must have or die." (Stoker 113)
- To Quincey Morris " A brave man's blood is the best thing on this earth when a woman is in trouble. You're a man, and no mistake." (Stoker 135)
2. Sleep deprivation
- We worked so hard for Lucy that we couldn't sleep well, looking after Lucy at night.
- John Seward said "All night long I watched by her. She never stirred, but slept on and on in a deep, tranquil, life-giving, health-giving sleep." (Stoker 117)
3. We all care for Lucy
- Arthur Holmwood said "Tell me, and I shall do it. My life is hers, and I would give the last drop of blood in my body for her." (Stoker 113)
- John Seward talking about Van Helsing "I never saw in all my experience the Professor work in such deadly earnest" (Stoker 135)
3. Lucy sees that we are working hard
- Lucy herself admits that we are doing our best for her, even though she doesn't get why we do some treatments.
- In Lucy's diary "How good they all are to me. I quite love that dear Dr. Van Helsing" (Stoker 122)
4. Two holes on Lucy's neck
- It is evident that Dracula had sucked blood out of Lucy.
- "and her throat were bare, showing the two little wounds which we had noticed before, but looking horribly white and mangled." (Stoker 134)
5. Safe when Lucy had garlic flowers
- She was safe when she had garlic flowers around her neck. However, when she removes it and gives it to her mother, she is attacked
- "The flowers which had been round her neck we found upon her mother's bosom" (Stoker 134)
